SCALE 23X: Corporate Impacts on OSS Sustainability

January 19, 2026 Dawn

I’m thrilled to be going back to SCALE this year to talk about corporate impacts on open source sustainability!

I’ve blogged here before about the New Power Dynamics in Open Source: Rug Pulls, Relicensing, and Forks along with What your OSPO can do about power dynamics, rug pulls, and other corporate impacts on OSS sustainability, so my talk at SCALE will be an evolution of those ideas.

Here’s a quick video about why I love SCALE and a preview of my presentation topic.

I hope to see some of you at SCALE in Pasadena!
